Securing Our Future: S3 AeroDefense Is Now A Registered Trademark

S3 AeroDefense proudly announces the receipt of our registration certificate from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, confirming the official trademark status of our current logo and name nationwide, as well as any number of other S3-formative names and marks. This milestone solidifies legal protection for the S3 brand from imitators, marking a pivotal moment in our company’s evolution.

For two decades, S3 AeroDefense has delivered award-winning distribution, repair, and logistics management services to military operators worldwide. Founded in 2005 as S3 International, our company underwent a rebranding to S3 AeroDefense in 2020. Registering our trademark reflects our commitment to protecting our customers from imposters and maintaining our unique identity within the market.

“The S3 name and logo are key our brand,” said Sebastien Imbert, S3’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We therefore know both are worth protecting. Not only does this change reinforce S3’s integrity, but it also ensures that our customers can continue to trust in the same quality and reliability from S3 to which they have become accustomed since 2005.”

With the official registration of our trademark, S3 AeroDefense embarks on a new chapter of growth. S3 advises its customers and partners to recognize the new service mark registration to ensure they are interacting with the legitimate entity.

History

Founded in 2005 by Jeff Wnuk, Aksel Sidem and Sebastien Imbert, S3 AeroDefense began as S3 International with the intent to provide innovative, cost effective Spares, Repairs Services, and Solutions: to become a One Stop Shop for the Commercial and Military aircraft operators around the world.

By 2011, S3 had formed and added an FAA & EASA approved Repair Station – offering a broad scope of in-house repair capabilities enlarging its portfolio of services.

In 2016, S3 was nominated and received the prestigious “E” Awards presented by the U.S Secretary of Commerce recognizing their significant contribution to U.S Exports.

The original founders believed that continued growth would come by adding expertise, value-added services, and inventory. They decided to form a strategic partnership in 2018 with Dermond Aerospace, led by the Dermond Brothers: Eric, Max and Stephane. The Dermonds are the original founders of Derco Aerospace and renowned pioneers of the military aftermarket.

In 2020, S3 celebrated its 15^th year of success and the Executive Leadership decided to rebrand as S3 AeroDefense. As a global leader in the defense aftermarket, the new name emphasizes the long-term vision: to continue to be a trusted partner in the Aerospace and Defense market by being the one partner to offer all solutions.
